What type of tranny cooler are you running?The built in cooler in the rad,or the traditional finned cooler in front of the rad,or the round aluminum finned pipe type thats can go under the car.This for a street driven turbo 350 behind a 305 tpi in a 78 malibu.
thanks

if I do run the one in the radiator I also run an additional one in front of the radiator. Never the finned tube on the frame for a street car. That is drag race only equipment. I liek to run a single external big enough to handle all the cooling for the trans and keep the heat out of the radiator. if you have enough front end you can place the cooler in the airflow, but away from the front of the radiator.

Ive run the transstar style from Northern for years with no issues on multiple cars. they have several different ratings and the price is good.
They are the hose clamp style, not the threaded fitting style
